How will Trumponomics work out?
At this writing, a week after the US national elections, it appears that President-elect Donald Trump’s Republican party will gain control of both chambers of Congress, enabling him to enact his economic agenda.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Had a long chat with Prof Cheng Li in Munich last month, who said what is happening in the US, particularly the DOGE kids ousting experienced civil servants, was deeply reminiscent of growing up in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution
Yesterday I spoke to someone who grew up in the Soviet Union, who remarked on the US: ‘I recognize the signs of the path to authoritarianism. These are the signs.’

No one listened to Holocaust survivors in 2016 when they tried to warn US voters about Trump's similarities to Hitler, but maybe someone who still can stand up to Trump meaningfully will listen to the people who survived totalitarianism in Russia & China, bc we're approaching the point of no return.
